Description
Today I tried to use Qt and could not use the Examples nor the tutorial from the "Welcome" screen. What happens: I click on the tutorial, e.g. "Creating a Qt Quick" and can see the tutorial web page for 1/4 of a second, which is then replaced by a message "Error downloading http://www.google-analytics.com/ga.js - server replied: Not Found"
As usual I have blocked ads and tracking in my hosts file, so the error message is no surprise.
To confirm that the blocked google tracker is the reasn, I allowed it once and tried the same tutorial: It worked then.
I only want to learn and not communicate with google, so this is a severe bug in qtcreator. When searching for similar bugs I found that this issue had been closed prematurely with the careless remark "cannot reproduce", which obviously must be wrong.
So please look into that once more and release Qt(Creator) from any dependence from google and similar sites.
This or a very similar bug can be seen in:
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTCREATORBUG-4831
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTCREATORBUG-7363
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTCREATORBUG-5790
and other bug-reports. Just search for "analytics".
Thanks for your time!
